A cruise to Yorktown delivers guests to Virginia’s Historic Triangle — Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. These living history museums bring America’s beginning to life. The Colonial Parkway, a scenic roadway, connects the three sites.
Disembark the ship in Yorktown, minutes from the Yorktown Battlefield, where the Allied soldiers and British troops fought the Revolutionary War’s last major battle. Yorktown has more to explore, but Colonial Williamsburg awaits. More than 300 acres of gardens, exhibition sites, tucked-away taverns and more immerse you in the 18th century. Meander the mile-long Duke of Gloucester Street, popping into the shops of shoemakers, silversmiths, and wigmakers, who use historically accurate techniques. Go inside the Governor’s Palace and the Capitol. Shuttle to Jamestown, where you can explore a recreation of the Jamestown Fort and Powhatan Village. Just down the road is the real thing—Historic Jamestowne, the first permanent English settlement.
